Just finished this build which was first conceived in the summer last year. Pretty rare to see Teles in this colour.
There are a few Fender Custom Shops in the colour, but mostly they are relic'd.
I asked Jon at Rexter Guitars (https://rexterguitars.co.uk/ ) @rexter to spray this for me in thin gloss nitro.
I have to say it is precisely what I envisaged. It is the most gorgeous hue in person. Sometimes looks jet black, faded greened black or in bright light the green metallic really shines through. The ivory binding sets it off beautifully I think. I tried to get some pics that show some of its variety. Jon's been so busy - great to see, he deserves it.
Neck: Fender American Original '60s. Gotoh vintage nickel tuners, bone nut.
Body: 2 piece alder double bound S/H routing in case I want to put a P90 or something in the neck in future.
Bridge Pickup: Lindy Fralin "Blues Special" Tele bridge pickup with a hybrid magnet stagger 7.3K Alnico V Magnets
Neck pickup: APC Adder T300N Brad Paisley
Controls: used from a fender USA Tele CTS 250 pots
Bridge: Fender America Original 60s with Gotoh InTune brass compensated saddles.
Guard: Axecaster 60s mint green 3 ply.
Balances well and is light at 7 and a quarter pounds. Sounds and plays great the pickups are a touch hotter than vintage. I'll get to sound samples at some point.

I have a CS Jaguar in Dark British racing green and I would say its doesn't look as nice as the colour on your tele.
Mine tends to looks almost black 95% of the time.

Lovely looking guitar. Never seen a Tele in that colour before. I like double sided binding on Teles, makes them look very posh.
That's a fantastic colour. Looks great.
(Also, what an amazingly dark and tight-grained fretboard!)
